Hoya parviflora EPC341 features slender, lance-shaped leaves with a dark green base colour and silver speckles. Its trailing growth habit makes it well-suited for indoor cultivation, where it can be grown in hanging baskets or trained on trellis supports. Over time, it produces clusters of extremely small, flowers that are pale white/cream in colour.
Native to: Hoya parviflora is native to the lowland tropical regions of Thailand and Myanmar, where it thrives in warm, humid environments. It typically grows on trees as an epiphyte, drawing moisture and nutrients from the air rather than the soil.
Water: This plant requires careful watering. Allow the soil to dry out almost completely before watering again. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so a well-draining potting mix is essential.
Light: Hoya parviflora prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some morning or late afternoon sun but should be shielded from harsh midday rays, which can scorch its leaves. Insufficient light may slow down growth and reduce flowering.
Humidity: Moderate to high humidity is beneficial, although it can tolerate average indoor conditions. If humidity levels drop below 50%, using a humidity tray or occasional misting can help maintain an optimal environment.
Temperature: This species thrives in temperatures between 18-27°C. It should be kept away from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes, as these can stress the plant and hinder growth.
